Add a layer of safety and convenience to your fire feature with the Warming Trends Mercury Safety Pilot Ignition Kit. This system provides a reliable standing pilot for easy lighting and features an automatic safety shut-off, making it a significant upgrade from a standard match-light kit.
The MERC kit is a complete ignition solution that includes the Mercury Safety Pilot valve and a mounting plate for a clean installation. The system works by maintaining a small, constant pilot flame. When you turn the main valve, the pilot instantly ignites the main burner. As a crucial safety feature, if the pilot flame is ever extinguished, the mercury switch automatically closes the valve, stopping the flow of gas to the burner. This kit is rated for fire features with a burner output of less than 240,000 BTUs.
